Chapter 408 Violent Nova
Griffin is withered, and so is Crawford, the super sixth man. This season, Crawford's shooting rate is only 39.6%, and his efficiency is very low. Presti's defense against Crawford is to force him to take three-pointers. His three-point shooting rate this season is only 32.1%.And Bradley's close defense made his shooting rate even lower!The audience only made 14 of 4 shots and scored 13 points and 2 assists!

And of course Paul played the best, scoring 25 points and 8 assists!

After the game, Paul's fans began to feel distressed: "Paul is too tired! His teammates can't help him, and he is still the best point guard! If there is a Pelican configuration, the championship is also easy to win!" Clippers fans are worried about Paul's contract renewal.

When Presti was asked about the current problems of the Clippers in an interview, he smiled and said: "The Clippers will get better. Paul and Griffin are extremely talented players. They just didn't play well for a while."

Presti is getting smoother and smoother now. He doesn't have to say anything shocking. It's OK to just say something to dismiss the reporter, but obviously the reporter tonight is not satisfied, so he asked: "How do you think Paul needs to improve himself to win the championship?"

"He's already very good! It's bad luck," Presti said with a frown.

"Then why did you trade him in the first place?"

Presti suddenly laughed. This reporter was here to pick up the topic, so Presti said: "At that time, there was a lot of waste here. A player like Paul should go to a bigger city. He has already paid too much for this city!"

"Then are you willing to trade him back?" The reporter continued to ask.

No matter how temperamental people are, they were annoyed at this time. Presti sneered and said: "Every player in my hands has the power to decide his own destiny. If they want to leave, of course I have no problem!" After finishing speaking, Presti left.

As soon as he went out, Presti immediately called Voshen, "What happened to that reporter?"

"Now that your team is in the limelight, many teams can't see any hope. Therefore, several teams have joined together to deliberately mess up your team's locker room. It seems that Xiao Hua has also acquiesced!" Wo Shen said quickly.

"Okay, I see." Presti hung up the phone, his eyes froze, making a dirty trick?No problem, I will make you even more desperate in the next game!
On the bus that day, Presti said seriously to all the players: "I won't trade any of you unless you want to leave. The Pelicans are your home. Now other teams are afraid of us, jealous of us, and start playing dirty tricks. They want us to mess up inside first, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman, don't you think?"

"No!" the players yelled!Watching the coach’s interview video this year has made me angry. Of course, some players are worried and afraid of being traded away. After all, the opponent is Chris Paul. Now that the coach has promised so many players, you can rest assured.
Presti glanced at everyone: "Very well, then we won't lose another game in the next game, including the playoffs, if we play dirty tricks, then we will let them despair!"

"Total victory! Total victory! Total victory!" The whole bus roared wildly.

········
The best of February is out!This time it was Curry in the West, who averaged 2 points, 26 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 7.2 steals per game, shooting 1.2% from the field and 48% from the three-point range!Of course, people are used to this kind of horrible data. The most helpless thing is that since the start of the game, the best of the week is okay. After all, there are only three games. Durant, Westbrook, Harden and others still have to fight.

The best in the Eastern Conference is still James, averaging 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. The Cavaliers also overtook the Eagles and regained the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference!
On March 3, the Pelicans beat the Suns 2:131. The Suns had almost no chance to make it to the playoffs. They were still 106 games away from the eighth. Therefore, the Suns also changed their goals. The Suns traded away Dragic during the All-Star period and completely announced that they would push to rebuild again.

In this game, the Suns did not release water, but played with all their strength, because they knew that even so, they still had no hope of winning the Pelicans. Bledsoe scored 22 points and 6 assists, Markieff Morris scored 16 points, and no one scored in double figures except for the first time!On the other hand, the Pelicans have 7 players in double figures!
In the back-to-back game against the Grizzlies on March 3, the Pelicans won 3 to 124 at home, but in the third quarter of the rotation, David West and Barea completed an alley connection, but unexpectedly, West sprained his knee during the dunk, and then fell to the ground in pain.

After being checked, West left the court in a wheelchair and returned to the locker room.Afterwards, the MRI examination results showed that West's knee cruciate ligament was torn, and he was reimbursed for the season!

This is undoubtedly very bad news for the team. As we all know, the reason why the Pelicans often crush opponents is that the strength of the substitute is indispensable, and the biggest reason for the strength of the substitute is David West.
Pelicans fans have expressed their concerns about the Pelicans, and a large number of Pelicans fans said that they can give up the rest of the game. After all, they have made it to the playoffs, and they don't want to have another injury in the next game!

The next day, the Pelicans issued an official announcement that David West's surgery went well, and also announced that the Pelicans will continue to be strong in the following games and will not give up any games!

On the night David West was injured, Presti approached Antetokounmpo and told him that he would be the No. 3 position. At first, Antetokounmpo was very surprised. After all, Presti had always asked him to play the No. [-] position, and now he actually let him play the No. [-] position!

Then Presti dispelled his doubts with a few words: "In fact, you are most suitable for the 4th position. Before, you were asked to play [-]rd to hone your skills. Now your body is getting stronger and your skills are good. You can become a nightmare for the opponent in the low position!"

This was perfectly reflected in the game against the Nuggets on March 3!Antetokounmpo took the ball in the low position and faced Faried, turned around and wiped it and dunked directly!Hitting Gallinari from the back was even more brutal, pushing him directly to the basket like a bulldozer, turning around and dunking!

The Nuggets' inside line can't defend Antetokounmpo at all. Now the Nuggets' inside line is much weaker than before. After Nene leaves, Faried is at the 5th position. Even Faried can't defend against Antetokounmpo. Who else can the Nuggets expect to defend?In the end, the Pelicans beat the Nuggets 121:102. Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and his shooting percentage at the basket reached 89%! !

3月7号对阵热火的比赛中，字母哥又爆发了，出30分钟，15投12中，三分球1中1，罚球5中5，砍下30分7篮板2助攻2助攻！。

Brother Antetokounmpo almost exploded the inside line by himself. As long as the position close to the basket wants to get the ball, raising his hand is a dunk.

The Pelicans are selfless when they play. After seeing Antetokounmpo so fiercely, Curry, Thompson, Paul George, etc. are willing to be green leaves, all playing for Antetokounmpo!

And Antetokounmpo also conquered his teammates and fans with his beast performance!

On March 3, the Pelicans beat the Chicago Bulls at home. In this game, Antetokounmpo still defeated the Bulls' bench with a beastly performance. He played 13 minutes, made 27 of 11 shots, 9 of 4 free throws, scored 4 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assist and 1 blocks!

Against the Grizzlies with the twin towers on March 3th, I thought Antetokounmpo's crazy performance would stop here, but it was even crazier!Although Antetokounmpo's scoring has dropped, your assists are indeed a career high!

Antetokounmpo is still low and strong when he gets the ball. Once the Black Bears come to defend, they will immediately pass it to Gobert who is responding to the basket.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Grizzlies 119:106. The most exciting scene of the game was Antetokounmpo Randolph with a nail plate and a big hat, and then a three-step dunk from the three-point line! !

After that, the Pelicans ushered in a sweet schedule, almost all of which were tank teams, and the team undoubtedly won a complete victory. That week, Antetokounmpo won the best of the week with 23.5 points, 5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.9 blocks!
The most gratifying of these are the fans of the Pelicans. They never thought that Antetokounmpo would be so strong!Although Antetokounmpo's basket skills are much worse than David West's, but it is violent enough, basically pushing to the basket and dunking directly!
And Antetokounmpo has many advantages over David West, especially the ability to assist in defense and single defense. Now David West's assist defense is very slow, except for the top defense.

Of course, the biggest advantage that Antetokounmpo brings from the bench is the ability to retreat and fast break, making the opponent completely unable to defend.

Now the Pelicans' substitutes are all-round strong, Barea, Bradley, Middleton, Antetokounmpo.Gobert!And the veteran has Basabo, Boozer, Carter and so on!Support is always available!

When Antetokounmpo was promoted to the fourth position, Middleton also succeeded in the upper position and came to the position of the substitute small forward. He obviously knew that this opportunity was hard-won, so he tried his best every game!
After Middleton mentioned the main substitute, he averaged 10.2 points, 3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game, shooting 48.6% from the field and 41.2% from the three-point range!It can be said that the second scorer off the bench!
And Bradley is the arrow who mainly defends the opponent's substitute. Barea can hold the ball to organize, open up space and play fast breaks. Gobert guards the basket and can also put up screens. This lineup is that many tanks' starters can't beat it!
Throughout the March games, the Pelicans won all games, averaging 9.7 points better than their opponents per game!
Fans of other teams expressed despair at the performance of the Pelicans!The Pelicans lost a few games before and made them feel a little hopeful this year, but then the Pelicans became stronger again in March, even stronger than the previous 73 wins!

People feel that the Pelicans are about to break their own record of 73 wins, because the current record of the Pelicans has only lost 5 games!

On April 4, the Pelicans defeated the Rockets at home. The starters and substitutes in this game all exploded!No matter how Curry and Thompson shot, Davis at the basket came out to make a mid-range shot, and even Green hit an open three-pointer, while Paul George was willing to be a green leaf to wipe his teammates' ass!The lead in the first quarter has reached 1 points!
In the second quarter, Antetokounmpo showed his prowess. Barea became a spotter without the ball. Bradley and Middleton also opened up space for Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo easily went in and dunked.
Then divide the outside line, the substitute shooter group shot three-pointers and directly took away the game, and the half-time difference reached 20 points!
In the second half, Presti adopted a mixed lineup, including Curry, Thompson, Paul George, Antetokounmpo, and Davis. Now the Rockets were beaten and collapsed. None of the 5 positions could be defended. The game was completely garbage time.

On April 4, the Pelicans defeated the Thunder 3-117.

This game allowed fans to see the strength of the Pelicans again. The game did not go to the fourth quarter as usual, but led by 20 points in three quarters!In this game, Presti used Green to organize, Curry, Thompson, Paul George ran without the ball, and Davis attacked low!

In fact, the Thunder has been doing very badly on the off-ball end, especially Harden and Westbrook, who are often taken away by the ball to achieve it. This also gave Curry and Thompson a very good chance to hit 5 three-pointers in a row!
It is actually not easy for Davis to play Jordan in the low post. However, Davis knows how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

On the defensive end, Presti let Paul George defend Harden, Westbrook was defended by Thompson, Durant took the ball in the low post and decisively double-teamed, forcing Durant to go outside the three-point line for a pull-up!Obviously, Durant's three-pointer feeling in this game is very average, shooting 8 of 1 shots!

Westbrook's mid-range shot only lasted half a quarter, and began to enter the iron-strike mode in the second half. Facing Thompson who took a step forward, although the speed passed, the Pelicans would shrink decisively without any chance.

And Harden also played poorly against Paul George, who is the best defender of him, only shooting 12 of 4.

On the other hand, whether the Pelicans are starting or coming off the bench, there is no problem with the offense. All kinds of pass and cut cooperation, covering the ball, let the Thunder, which has no defensive system and only relies on physical talent, bewildered!
Then the Pelicans defeated the three tank teams of the Kings, Lakers, and 76ers. Saric played the most unexpected performance in these games. In these games, the starting substitute was able to lead by 20 points at halftime. In the third quarter, Presti replaced Saric to exercise.
And Saric did not live up to Presti's expectations, averaging 9 points and 4 rebounds in three games, of which he was able to hit two three-pointers in each of these three games!
This made some media sigh: "The new force of the Pelicans has risen again!"
